Manage your data movement.
Microsoft® SQL Azure Data Sync CTP is a cloud-based data synchronization service built on Microsoft Sync Framework technologies. It provides bi-directional data synchronization and data management capabilities allowing data to be easily shared across SQL Azure databases within multiple data centers.
Use SQL Azure Data Sync CTP1 to:
Synchronize data between SQL Azure databases within a data center, to help scale-out data access across multiple databases for elastic demand and usage spikes
Synchronize data between SQL Azure databases in different data centers, to extend data and provide geo-available data access.
With SQL Azure Data Sync CTP2 we are delivering an update to SQL Azure Data Sync to enable synchronization between on-premises SQL Server and SQL Azure, giving customers greater flexibility in building solutions that span on-premises and the cloud. With SQL Azure Data Sync CTP2, customers can:
Extend enterprise data to the cloud rather than replace it
Move workloads to the cloud in stages preserving investment in existing infrastructure
Extend data to remote offices and retails stores
Enable new scenarios spanning enterprise and cloud
